Probably my favorite episode of DA, they managed to balance Alexa and the Sumo tournament without either feeling too rushed (maybe could've gone a little longer on the final round).

Defeated Super Single Subway Master Ingo - August 19th, 2013

Searching for: Litwick - Near Perfect IVs, Manetric (Shiny) - Good IVs, Switcheroo
Can offer high IV'd Bagons, Digletts, and Darumakas, as well as DWs, Pokerus, and more, PM me if interesting in negotiating.

I find it bewildering and disheartening that the powers-that-be running the tournament are utterly unfazed and unaffected by TR being blasted off. There is no penalty to Golurk nor is there any concern or search for the contestants just sent flying across the horizon.

^my only thoughts about the episode.

I am not worried, Harry. I am with you.

^This is my new fanfic. It's a work in progress, so please read and comment at your discretion. I hope you like it. I think you will.

Got the right intro again. Helioptile's voice was eh, but I really loved gogoat's, it sounded really unique and it was funny when it got annoyed by alexa. Was nice seeing pignite jn action again too. Unfortunately it is the last time we will probably until maybe the kalos league.

A love the voice for Alexa it fits her very much so does Helioptile and Gogoat , wow Ash actually remembers something as minor as the sumo competition from the Johto region, is it me or was the guy Ash argued with name Rodney who had the Golurk sounded and looked like Morrison from Hoenn does this mean TPCI hire 4kids VA's?

Well giovanni kept his VA from the 'kids dub. There was no reason they couldn't go and get some of the VA's.

I may have missed something because I don't remember Ash competing in a Sumo Competition before. So if it did happen, then that's pretty awesome to get a good throwback. While the tournament wasn't too eventful, at least Pignite got some good screentime.

That Ninja looking guy did remind me of someone. I just couldn't place the name. Morrison sounds like a definite possibility.

Alexa is pretty cool, and her voice is not too shabby. Can't wait to see more of her.

There was that one small sumo thing from johto, but it was hardly memorable. It was really cool that it was brought up, although you can clearly see in da that they are trying to bring back continuity to past regions with kalos/xy going to have to be connected.

I was a little disappointed this episode. I didn't pay attention to the spoilers for the Decolore arc when they aired in Japan but I was hoping this episode was more Kalos/Alexa centered. Either way it was nice to see new Pokémon and begin our Kalos transition.

They've been using voice actors who worked with the 4Kids dub since about 2008 now. :P Rachel Lillis even voiced a character (Maylene)

His was replaced too, they just switched it back to his 4Kids VA once they could/had to.

Welcome to the cast, Alexa. I wished you could've shown an habitat full of Riolu but you showed Turtwig instead.

Regardless of her early bird cameo, the episode felt too rushed when the sumo competition was brought up, though I chuckled when Pignite won by default against a Slaking... How did that Slaking make it to the next rounds?

Congrats, Ash. You got such an important Hold Item. Many victories are assured... He isn't going to use it, is he.

Great episode, nice to see Alexa and new pkmn, that reference to Johto was a nice touch as well. Kalos is coming, can't wait for Oct. 19th.

That's actually bad news. While Japan will start airing the XY season, the "preview" we're going to get will delay the gap we have with Japan in episodes, unless I'm wrong and we're getting the normal Da! episode before the movie marathon.

Pretty sure the movie and preview air at night since they don't air new movies in the morning.

So regular ep plus movie and preivew as far as I can tell from the info we got

Well, the sumo competition from Johto was mentioned which is pretty cool.. You know the one, where Totodile was falsely promised that he'd become a Feraligatr? Yeah that's the one..

Pignite should've evolved to believably throw that Golurk around. Oh and what on earth is this? This COTD not only looks like Morrison, acts like Morrison and gets a similar reaction out of Ash as Morrison did, but he has exactly the same voice too? How freaking inventive..

Gogoat's cry is pretty decent though and there were a bunch of older heavyweights, so I can't complain about that..

OR Playthrough - Final TeamThis won't change often.. I play through the games slowly..
